How to remove /SOGo from Zentyal 6.1 Webmail Login

Question

Working with a fresh install of Zentyal 6.1, how do I remove /SOGo from the default webmail login. Currently users need to access https://mail.mydomain.com/SOGo (Case sensitive) when I would like them to be able to access at https://mail.mydomain.com/.

I have tried adding the below to /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/default-ssl.conf. Result of that is the text on the page loading but all includes such as css and just return net::ERR_ABORTED 403 (Forbidden).

ServerName mail.domain.com
ProxyPass / http://127.0.0.1/SOGo/ retry=0
ProxyPassReverse / http://127.0.0.1/SOGo/

Ideally I would like all users to access mail.domain.com to access webmail. Also, I would like Outlook clients to use mail.domain.com for the server. This will be setup with multiple virtual mail domains for end users, such as [email protected] or [email protected].

Answer 1

You should try using the Apache rewrite mod in order to redirect the url you like to the SOGo url. See this:

https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/rewrite/remapping.html

BR.

Answer 2

I ended up scrapping Zentyal and switched to MailCow in Docker. Access SoGo via mail.domain.com. Below is the Reverse-Proxy for NGINX outside of Docker.

### NGINX Reverse-Proxy to mailcow and SOGo
### Redirects root to SOGo and /setup to mailcow control panel
### Handles all SSL security

## HTTP catch-all for invalid domain names (e.g. root domain "example.com")
server {

     listen 80 default_server;
     listen [::]:80 default_server;

     # Have NGINX drop the connection (return no-data)
     return 444;

}

## Redirect HTTP to HTTPS for valid domain names on this server
## (e.g. mail.example.com, webmail.example.com)
server {

     listen 80;
     listen [::]:80;

     server_name mail.domain-name.com
          autodiscover.domain-name.com
          autoconfig.domain-name.com;

     location ^~ /.well-known/acme-challenge/ {
          allow all;
          default_type "text/plain";
          # Path can be used for cert-validation on all domains
          root /var/www/html/;
          break;
     }
     # Redirect to properly formed HTTPS request
     return 301 https://$host$request_uri;    
}


## HTTPS catch-all site for invalid domains that generate a certificate
## mismatch but the user proceeds anyways
server {

     listen 443 default_server ssl http2;
     listen [::]:443 default_server ssl http2;

     # SSL settings in another file (see my 'mozModern_ssl' file as an example)
#     include /etc/nginx/mozModern_ssl.conf

     # SSL certificates for this connection
     ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/mail.domain-name.com/fullchain.pem;
     ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/mail.domain-name.com/privkey.pem;     

     # Have NGINX drop the connection (return no-data)
     return 444;

}


## Proxy primary server and webmail subdomain to mailcow
## Go to SOGo after typing root address only (default browsing action)
## Go to mailcow admin panel after typing /admin subdirectory
